Dust-contained sanding and premium finishes that make an old floor new — for a fraction of the cost of replacing it.
The hardwood under your carpet — or under decades of wear — is usually worth saving. Refinishing costs a fraction of replacement and, done right, makes a 60-year-old floor look like it was laid last month. Bob Kelch Floors has been sanding and finishing Peoria's hardwood since 1909.
We sand with modern dust-containment equipment, so your house stays livable while we work. Then we finish with premium products in the stain and sheen you choose — from natural matte to traditional gloss.
Not every tired floor needs a full refinish, and we'd rather keep your trust than sell you sanding you don't need. A maintenance re-coat every few years is the cheapest insurance a hardwood floor can have — it renews the wear layer without touching the wood. A professional deep clean brings back floors that are just dirty, not damaged. And when boards are gray, deeply scratched, or stained, a full sand and refinish resets the clock entirely.
Refinishing typically costs a fraction of what replacing a hardwood floor costs. The price depends on square footage, the floor's condition, and the finish you choose. Bob Kelch Floors gives free assessments with firm pricing — call (309) 673-8383.
Modern dust-containment systems capture the overwhelming majority of sanding dust at the machine, so your home stays livable during the project. It is a dramatic improvement over open sanding, though no system is literally 100% dust-free.
If the wear is only in the finish — dullness, light scratches — a maintenance re-coat restores it for far less money. If boards are gray, deeply scratched, or stained, a full sand and refinish is the answer. We'll tell you honestly which one your floor needs, and sometimes the answer is neither yet.
Very often, yes. Many Peoria homes have original hardwood under decades-old carpet, and refinishing it usually costs less than new flooring. We'll pull a corner and give you an honest assessment for free.
